The one thing I’ve been asked most during this lock-down, is how to declutter your wardrobe while #stayingathome. Now’s a great time to show your wardrobe some TLC by detoxing it.
Without further ado, here are my top tips of how to efficiently declutter your wardrobe:
Bring out all your Spring/Summer clothes, shoes and accessories.
You’re going to need to be objective and
very decisive when reviewing your wardrobe.
Ask yourself a few questions:
Do you like the item of clothing, shoes,
accessories? Does it fit and flatter you? If the clothes are more than 1 size
too big or small, please release them. (Holding onto clothes that don’t fit
you, does nothing for your self-esteem)
Hello! Hope you are keeping safe and healthy
during this pandemic….
With
our world in disarray, there is no better time to do whatever we can to stay
positive: mind, soul and body
Most
of us are working from home, except our medical heroes & frontline staff serving
us and working to mitigate the effects of #COVID-19
As
we are currently #socialdistancing, I thought to share a few practical styling
tips that will brighten your day and lift your mood:
Wear colour at home– As Spring is upon us,
wear bright beautiful colours! Colour is proven to lift our mood and make us
happy.
Comfort is king– Wear soft breathable
fabrics like wool, organic cotton, etc. that will keep you comfortable all day
long! Avoid leather, polyester or any synthetic fabrics.
A set of co-ord loungewear is ideal for many of us attending virtual meetings. They are easy to wear, stylish and comfortable, so bag yourself a knitted co-ord set or beautiful matching pyjamas-style set.
Due to social distancing guidelines, I will be working remotely
to facilitate virtual style consultations. I’m happy to have a FREE 20
minute chat with you or your friends via Skype or Zoom, if you’d like style
advise or you are considering personal styling for Summer 2020
Yves
Saint Laurent said it best: “Fashion fades, style is eternal!”
With that in mind, I have some practical style tips that will help you confidently create a timeless style that lasts a decade:
10 years in Style!
Embrace your Uniqueness.
You are unique; that is your power!
We live in a social media age where everyone is trying to
look the same, but true beauty is being authentically you. Our quirks make us
interesting. How boring would it be if we all looked the same? Accept yourself
‘flaws and all’ because perfection is a myth. Bin comparison this decade and
remember; the beauty of YOU is that no one is like you; so, embrace YOU.
The Power of Colour
Wearing colour not only lifts your mood, it adds a
beautiful natural glow to your face. Steer clear of wearing dark dreary hues that
drain the colour from your face. There is a rainbow of beautiful colours that
will brighten and lift your face naturally. This decade wear more colour! I
promise you will look and feel better.

Body Beautiful
With the rise in cosmetic surgery and body ’enhancements’, there
is no better time to swim against the tide and love the skin we are in. Whether
you are a size 8 or 18, tall, petite, athletic, pear shaped, or curvy, you are
beautiful! I have styled over three thousand people in over 12 years as a personal
stylist and I am yet to meet a client I can’t style and help set on a journey
of body confidence. Dressing confidently is about understanding your bodyshape
and styling it in clothes that flatter and accentuate your shape. Truth is, none of us will be how we were 20,
30 years ago or like celebrities who have assistance at their disposal. Accept
and love your body as you are now. I hope the next time you look in the mirror you
see how truly and uniquely beautiful you are.
Release!
Marie Kondo – tidying expert and author – encourages us to
let go of anything that doesn’t spark joy. I’d like to add to that list: Let go
of anything you haven’t worn in two years. Let go of anything that doesn’t fit
or flatter you. Release clothes, shoes and accessories that no longer serve a
purpose in your current lifestyle. That dress you wore when you were two sizes
smaller does nothing for your confidence, so let it go! Let go of the past and
embrace who you are today. We hold on to so much stuff that clutters our
wardrobe taking up precious space, release them. Our body is the only house we live in permanently.
It’s so important you clothe yourself in pieces that serve you and lift your spirit.
Let go and release anything that doesn’t. Less is truly more!
(To have your wardrobe decluttered, book a Wardrobe Detox consultation today)
Invest.
True style is timeless. Invest in quality pieces you can
wear for at least 5 to 10 years. Durable pieces you can wear again and again
that don’t date or fall apart.
Timeless pieces are kinder to the environment, because when
you buy well, you buy less; which increases the cost per wear.
Avoid fast fashion, its disposable and the quality and
manufacturing isn’t kind.
This decade I encourage you to; Invest in yourself – Invest in your style.

Hello, hope you are enjoying the glorious sunshine…
With more than 2 days of consecutive sunshine;
I think we might be in for a treat this summer!
So, whether you are home or away on holiday
this summer, here are a few handy holiday tips to keep you safe and stylish in
the sunshine.
Sunglasses: Protect your eyes in
the sunshine with a super cool pair of sunnies. Ensure your sunglasses cover
the width of your face and they are UV and anti-glare compliant.
Wear a fabulous sun hat: Whether it’s a small
panama or an oversized beach hat, it’s essential to protect yourself when the
sun peaks between 12noon and 4pm. Side note: a massive beach hat has an air of
mystery and sophistication; so, go for it!
Wear natural fabrics: Avoid wearing manmade
fabrics in this heat. Invest in breathable fabrics such as 100% cottons and
linen to stay cool and fresh in the heat. They allow the skin to breathe and minimise
sweating through your clothes.
Basket bags: Swap your leather bags for an easy breezy
weaved, wicker or basket bag. They are lighter and don’t conduct heat like
leather bags.
Flip flops: Ensure your flip flops and slippers have
ridges under the sole. This gives you grip, so you don’t slip or fall around
the wet pool area.

your fabulous summer holiday wardrobe: contact us today!

As a Personal Stylist, I am an avid believer that style trumps fashion. And so with London Fashion week 2019 in full swing, I’d love to shed some light on the differences between fashion and style.
Fashion is fleeting. Style is timeless.
Fashion says wear what’s on trend (even if it doesn’t suit you). Style says wear what flatters you.
Fashion says follow what everyone is wearing. Style says be unique and wear what suits your lifestyle and personality.
Fashion says buy it all! Style says be selective, create a capsule wardrobe of clothes you can wear numerous ways.
Fashion says wear it for a season. Style says wear it for years!
Fashion says wear this seasons colour. Style says find out your best colours and wear them.
Fashion says wear those uncomfortable shoes. Style says comfort is king!
Fashion says wear it even if it’s not you. Style says wear what makes you happy.
Fashion certainly has its place…..but for a timeless, flattering wardrobe of clothes that suit you; style always wins!

Hello, I hope this year has started off well for you.
I had the honour of being invited to the BBC to share my nuggets on how to improve our style this year….
How we dress matters, it not only affects how we feel about ourselves but how we are perceived. Stats tell us that first impressions are made within 4 seconds of meeting a person.
For a winning style personally or professionally, here are my 3 R’s to improving your style this year:
Review. Release. Restyle.
Review!
Most of us are “creatures” of habit, we tend to wear the same looks year in year out. We aren’t aware of what suits us, so we are inclined to stay within our comfort-zone.
Our trained personal stylist will empower you with skills for life by Reviewing your colours and bodyshape. We will equip you with how to wear colours that give your skin a natural youthful glow. We also teach you clothing styles that best flatter and complement your bodyshape and proportions.
Step out of your comfort zone and let us Review what complements you best with
In nearly 11 years of styling clients and decluttering thousands of wardrobes, I’ve only seen 2 client wardrobes that weren’t overflowing with clothes. And ironically most of us only wear only 20% of our bulging wardrobes….
Are you hanging onto all those clothes for nostalgic reasons? Clothes that no longer fit or flatter you? Or perhaps they are dated or ill-fitting?
We will help you Release clothes in your wardrobe that don’t make you look or feel good.
Clear your space by booking a Wardrobe detox consultation and we will help you embrace a flattering capsule wardrobe this year:
Restyle!
Majority of us tend to wear clothing styles we are familiar with day in day out, which leaves little room for inspiration. Our personal stylists Restyle you by exploring and injecting something different into your wardrobe this year.
We save you time, stress and ensure you don’t waste money on clothes that do nothing to uplift you.
Try someone NEW! Restyle and make a great impression this year by booking some Personal Shopping with us this season.
